From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was about to post this video, lmao. But this man still thinks Linux is difficult and not easy to use. When in fact its become way easier than running Windows ~~Linux~~. Linux has surpassed Windows and Mac on the Desktop usability in the last 2 years. And it just keeps getting better.

Lol windows is still easier to use unless you use Linux and not windows for a long time.

I'm using both and there is no comparison for ease of use.

This looks like even more gibberish than regedit to be honest...
